Grocery Mart (Whole Foods)

About This Lot
Have you ever heard the story of Whole Foods and how it came to be? Wait, first, before we dive in, let's make sure we're all on the same page. Do you know what Whole Foods is? For those of you outside the US, UK, and Canada, Whole Foods is basically a grocery store, yes... but not just any grocery store. It's a high-end grocery store that sells high-quality, organic, and natural products—think of your local grocery store, but more elevated, more luxurious... and depending on where you live, maybe actually nothing like your local grocery store at all. In the video for this community lot, I dive into the story of Whole Foods, share the inspiration that went into building this beautifully functional lot, and at the end, I do a play-through to show just how smoothly the lot operates. While I never intended to share this lot, I've had so much fun with it in my game over the months that I knew I had to share it with you all ❤️!
